Looking for flake suggestions

[bubbadreier]

Ever since I decided I wanted to find a close second to Penzance, I have been trying more and more flake tobaccos and I have decided I really like them. I am looking for some flakes that have Virgina, Turkish and/or Oriental, and Latakia in them, but I am open to any really. I have not really gotten into Virgina and Perique combos but I am willing to get them to try and put in the cellar (I would hate to be caught without any). I know I am going to place an order for some Stokkebye's Luxury Twist flake, Stokkebye's Luxury Navy Flake, and some Hearth and Home Ten to Midnight and I am looking to add to that list and order within the next two days! Thanks for the help guys!

What Cortez said. :lol:
Flakes are interesting, I'll give them that. There's a certain something about the process of rubbing them out. It adds another step of enjoyment of the tobacco, I think.

I have to say I'm surprised that no one ever mentions McClellands Tudor Castle, a damn tasty VaPer with a dose of Yendje in the mix for fun - I haven't had a chance to smoke any of it aged yet (three tins in the cellar - all 2010 datestamp), but it is some tasty broken flake young - just gotta get past the ketchup aroma on the tin.

 

[maduroman]

i use stuff n puff on my flakes, not rubbing them out. i love flakes as witnessed by my last 2 purchases...

Mac Baren Vanilla Cream Flake (Aromatic Tobacco)
After one bowl of this....

I have to say give Mac Baren Vanilla Cream Flake a spin.

Really, really good stuff.

 

[bubbadreier]

Keep them coming guys!! Thanks for the suggestions!

 

[jcsoldit]

Here is a couple more that I don't think was mentioned Peter Heinrich's Special Curly and McConnell Scottish Flake. Enjoy ::

 

[mike68]

I was blown away by PS Luxury Navy Flake recently...that stuff is amazing! Got me wanting to try more flake as well!!

 

[olderthandirt]

Opened my first tin of SG St. James Flake last week.

Rubbed out, cubed or fold and stuff this is one awesome VaPer.

 

[papipeguy]

Butera's Kingfisher is a Va/Burley/Perique made by Germain. Very nice.

 

[judcole]

Sam Gawith Balkan Flake gets a nod from me, as does his Best Brown Flake. I am also fond of Dunhill Flake, and Benjamin Hartwell Signature. I have many tins of the last 3 in the cellar.

Low Country's Cooper is FANTASTIC one of my favs (Vs, Lat and Orientals~broken flake)..also second Kevin on the Bracken...Oh my Bracken...this is my 1st smoke of the day before breakfast with a nice cup-o-joe...kicks the day off right ::

 

[pawpaw]

exausted rooster and sunday picnic are some that aint been mentioned yet i like sleepy chicken and am due for a new tin may get 2 and cellar one

 

[igloo]

Robert McConnell , Scottish Flake . It is red Virginia slices and mighty tasty . A little time in a mason jar or left in the tin will bring out the full flavor of the blend .

I'm just starting to get serious about flakes as well, so this is a great thread!
Bubba, PS's Luxury Twist is wonderful. Though I haven't had it in a while, but it was my first REAL tobacco for a long time. And H&H's Ten to Midnight is one of my current favorites. I love the look of it, though it doesn't rub out out into ribbons real well... more of crumbs and cube cuts.

 

[juvat270]

I'm kinda shocked no one has mentioned Orlik Golden Sliced. One of my all time favorites! ::
